A creditable performance saw each City man play his part in a 3-0 victory over the Spireites.
In my last post on this blog, I briefly discussed the part that chance plays in football. I also pointed out that it is difficult for us fans to judge what happens during games – and to predict what will happen as a result. While catching up on my reading last night, I noted that [...]
We all see the game differently – that much is clear. Unfortunately, little else is clear. Should Thorne have been subbed last night? Was Boulding the man to save the game? Should the team have been booed for putting in effort but failing to get reward for that effort? Who should have taken the penalty? [...]
The first home game of the season was a fairly uneventful affair, but a more enjoyable one than I had expected. Of the new signings, Eastwood was not seriously tested by City’s opponents and it may take a few games before any judgement can be reached on the loan ‘keeper. Williams made an impressive home [...]
Well, as far as I’m concerned the answer to the question I posed in the title is “no”. Deciding a manager’s future based on a single game would be ridiculous in my opinion. In 2004, Newcastle United decided to sack Bobby Robson on the basis of the first four matches of the season despite his [...]
Well… Graeme Lee has left, Michael Boulding has announced he wants to take a pay cut and stay at the club, and there’s no news on McLaren or Brandon. We’re into pre-season training now and only one of the “big four” has left the club. It is starting to look as if we might have [...]
It’s been reported that three players have left Guiseley during this summer break and that “striker James Hanson may yet follow”. According to manager Steve Kittrick: “He will be having trials with Bradford City in the pre-season and if anything develops there we would not stand in his way.” (Source: http://www.wharfedaleobserver.co.uk/sport/4418407.Guiseley_hoping_to_hang_on_to_hanson/)
Maybe Sheffield United will get promoted to the Premier League and decide that Nicky Law could do with another spell at Bradford (and pay his wages for us)? [They've just beaten Preston 1-0 to make the play-off final.]
Maybe Leeds will sell Fabian Delph for £10 million and we’ll get a hefty fee from the sell-on [...]

The T&A are reporting that McCall remains as City boss for next season and that Nix wants in. Despite the budget dilemma, things are starting to look up. We need men as committed as McCall and Nix at this club. (We also need players and staff who won’t demand high wages!) If Nix is cheap [...]
